OSHA is recognizing National Safety Stand Down week across the country from May 6-10. Slips, trips, and falls continue to be the most frequent accidents on construction sites. Most injuries and fatalities are preventable with the right training and awareness.

We urge all members to participate in the Safety Stand Down week by either hosting a fall prevention toolbox talk or having a conversation about fall hazards that might exist on the job.

NYECA offers extensive tool box talks on falls on the Safety App or eSafetyline free to all members.

You can also visit the OSHA website here for more information.

We hope you find this helpful.

If you have a safety professional employed in your company, please forward this to them. If you have any questions, please contact the Association Office and please consider joining the NYECA Safety Committee!

Stay safe!
